Instructional Ideas

  • This point-of-view lesson could easily be broken up over the course of several days; you can spend the start of several classes working on point of view

Classroom Considerations

  • Take note that the assessment answers are on the same page as the questions; you'll want to cover them up when making copies
  • The graphic organizer is a sample, so you'll want to use it as a model to create your own set of organizers
  • The resource talks about accompanying student handout; while this is not included, all the texts are provided in this teacher guide

Pros

  • Comes with each text your class will analyze
  • Provides a sample graphic organizer and model responses
  • Includes assessments and answer keys

Cons

  • None
